When trying to get rid of blackheads, many people often start squeezing them with dirty and sharp nails. And this injures the skin and causes inflammation. It is better to approach cleansing your face carefully. The author of the Zen blog “Beauty and Health” (18+) spoke about one such gentle method.
The expert advised to try a gelatin mask. All you need is 1 tablespoon of gelatin and a little warm milk.
Mix everything and heat in the microwave for 10 minutes. Apply to clean and pre-steamed skin – to areas with blackheads. Place a paper napkin on top, and then cover it with another layer of mask.
Leave the Velcro mask on your face until it hardens completely, and then quickly remove it in one motion. Then wash your face with warm water and treat your skin with salicylic acid. 10 minutes after the procedure, be sure to apply a soothing and moisturizing cream to restore the skin's protective barrier and avoid dryness.
Important: this method is only suitable for removing blackheads. If there is inflammation or acne on the skin, do not self-medicate under any circumstances and consult a doctor immediately.
